Currently, Stephanie McMahon's main role on camera in WWE is as part of The Authority. Working primarily as a heel, Stephanie is supposed to come across as a domineering female boss, one who staunchly stands by her husband Triple H and believes the pair can do no wrong. It was Stephanie who - on screen, at least - ushered in the 'Divas revolution' which kicked off last Summer. 

Part of that 'revolution' is the current WWE Divas Champion, Charlotte. Whilst hyping WrestleMania to USA Today, Charlotte made some interesting remarks about McMahon which are sure to divide the WWE audience. Stating that she wants to someday do away with the term 'Diva', she said that Stephanie is the biggest villain on television, but that she also finds her to be the most empowering female around.

It's interesting that Charlotte seems to have so much respect for Stephanie, and also seems to see her own character as one which stands up for women watching. There's no doubt she's a big personality, but it's equally strong to suggest Stephanie empowers women around the globe who watch WWE's product.
